Algebra, Geometry, and Combinatorics Day (ALGECOM 11): First announcement ALGECOM is an NSF-supported one-day meeting on Algebra, Geometry, and Combinatorics (widely interpreted). This autumn's meeting will be held at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois, on Saturday, October 18. The speakers for this October's meeting will be Daniel Nakano (University of Georgia) Christine Berkesch Zamaere (University of Minnesota) Melody Chan (Harvard University) John Stembridge (University of Michigan) There will also be a poster session for graduate students and recent graduates. For more information, visit the conference web page https://sites.google.com/site/algecomday/algecom11 Registration is free. To pre-register, email the local organizer Christopher Drupieski ([log in to unmask]), indicating whether you plan to participate in the poster session. Limited travel support is available for graduate students. To apply, email the local organizer Christopher Drupieski ([log in to unmask]) by September 15 with: the name of your university, the name of your advisor, a summary of your research interests, a summary of your anticipated travel expenses, and whether you plan to participate in the poster session. Funding decisions will be made by September 20. Please forward this announcement to anyone else who might be interested. Sincerely, Saugata Basu, Christopher Drupieski, Evgeny Mukhin, Henry Schenck, Vitaly Tarasov, Peter Tingley, Uli Walther, and Alexander Yong (the ALGECOM organizers) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1200 mathematicians worldwide. At http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/geometry.html there are many functions available, including checking the archives since November 2005, changing your e-mail address or preferences, and joining/leaving the list. If you have problems that cannot be resolved at this website, send a message to [log in to unmask] Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. Any announcements that are *not* about conferences (e.g. those about jobs, journals, books, etc.) will be rejected by the moderator without comment. To announce a geometry or closely related conference, send the announcement (including a conference web site if possible) to [log in to unmask] The moderator cannot edit your message; list members will receive the announcement as an e-mail from you EXACTLY as you submitted it. For example, if your submission starts with "Please post this on the geometry list" then your conference announcement will also begin with that statement. In order to keep down the volume of e-mail, only TWO announcements per conference will be approved by the moderator. The "subject" of your message should include the name of the conference and the number (first or second) of the announcement, e.g. Gauss Memorial Lectures in Geometry: Second Announcement. Please check that your announcement (especially the website) is correct. Corrections will be approved only in the most critical situations, e.g. if corrected information is not available on the website. If you send a submission from an e-mail address that is not subscribed to the geometry list then you will be sent an e-mail asking for confirmation. This feature is designed to thwart the hundreds of machine-generated spam that are sent to the list and would otherwise have to be manually blocked by the moderator. The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
